Eaton LPN-RK-30SP Fuse - Class RK1, 30A, 300 kAIC

Time-delay, dual-element design lets it ride through motor inrush currents, reducing nuisance trips while delivering reliable protection for wiring and components. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns, longer motor life, and lower maintenance costs in high-cycle applications. Calibrated for Class RK1 systems with ferrule-end connections, it slips into standard control panels without disrupting wiring harnesses, and the 2-inch body fits compact spaces in modern panel layouts. With a high interrupt rating of 300 kAIC at 250 Vac and 100 kAIC at 125 Vdc, it provides robust short-circuit protection across AC and DC duties. That margin helps prevent cascading faults in motor controls, drives, and feeders, safeguarding downstream components and reducing the need for downstream upgrades. The current-limiting action also reduces let-through energy, supporting longer life for contactors and wiring connectors. Dual elements improve reliability under rapid fault conditions, allowing the fuse to clear faults quickly without nuisance trips during legitimate start-ups. The unit is non-indicating, simplifying panel aesthetics and maintenance checks, while providing protection without indicators that can wear or mislead technicians. Its standard packaging and 10-piece quantity support procurement for OEMs and service teams, enabling consistent part numbers across sites. Compatibility with 250 Vac and 125 Vdc systems, along with ferrule-end terminations, ensures straightforward installation into Eaton Bussmann series protection schemes. The LPN-RK-30SP aligns with CE expectations for global distribution and helps panel builders meet safety and regulatory requirements while keeping total installed cost low. Rated 30 A with a response time of 8 seconds at 500% overload, this fuse delivers a practical balance between protection and uptime for motor circuits and drive applications in automation settings.
